1.Will be meeting Valerie this summer in New Zealand!!It was originally a summer trip to Aus for both of us, but funny how it turned out to be a visiting trip to NZ ultimately. Anyway, she is one insane buddy who brings out the craziest side of me, thus I’m really excited that we’re going to meet up after 3 years.
WOOHOO VALERIE TAN, I’M COMING! LOTR I’M COMING TOO!!!
2. Received some candies from my lovely buddies few weeks ago. I really love my buddies because they know exactly how to satisfy my sweet tooth and happy soul.
3. Praised by a stranger at the bus stop. Stranger asked me about the bus schedule and the waiting time, and then he politely returned the favor by saying ‘You will definitely succeed in future because you know your time well.’
4.Re-watched one of my favourite music videos and it is still as captivating as the first time I watched it. I always have a thing for this song, regardless of day or night, it is just magical enough to slow down my pace for 4 minutes.
This is my favourite scene of the music video! It allows me to stay dreamy for a while and swaps away my exhaustion.
5. Went ice-skating with my buddy on a Friday evening. I’m getting better on ice although I exchanged it with a blister at the end of the day. But like my friend says : ‘old skin don’t go, new skin won’t grow’, so it’s definitely worth the pain for a better outcome sometimes.
6.Baby Kenn shaved his hair and he still looks adorable with the new Botak look. I heard him babbling over the phone a few days ago, craving for hugs when mom was talking to me. The voice itself was enough to immerse me into his cute expression.
I bet now you all know what my summer job is going to be!
7. J updated me about her wedding preparation in this summer, from the wedding dress, make-up artist to wedding location, and the most exciting part to me is her church wedding since it’ll be the first church wedding in the house. I dreamt about her wedding a few weeks back, in this grand hotel with golden pillars and many familiar faces chit-chatting in the hotel lobby.I think it’s a good sign for the biggest event of my summer this year.
July, please come faster!!!
8. Read a good line which says ‘Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present’.
9. Learned to communicate with my heart and understand how it compromises with my brain. I’ve no idea since when my brain and heart are rarely interconnected with each other, to the extent where they decided to go against each other and work individually 'literally'. Maybe it’s good to put both things together once in a while and listen to the new melody created.
10. Developed a new idea about ‘love’ in general after seeing so many little events happening to the couples around me. Love is happiest when it’s at its simplest, as I can see their blissful faces after doing something for someone they love. I feel contented seeing their happy faces, and I feel happy to have walked them to their destination. Sometimes I wonder, what can I give best to the people I love? Apart from the care and support, giving them the freedom to choose is the only thing I can do best. It's not that I don't need someone in my life, but whoever that comes back to me is destined, and whoever that fades away is just telling me that we're not meant to be, and so they should be free.
See, I'm complicating things again. Let's get back to the simple life!!!
